So I got a quote from an offroad shop here locally.
Dana 30 master install kit $104.99
Dana 44 master install kit $118.99
Dana 44 4.56 ring and pinion $191.99
Dana 30 4.56 ring and pinion $180.99
Labor $75 @ 6 hours
roughly 1100 after taxes
To have a warranty on the hardware and labor is worth that to me to keep from having to do it myself. Is this an average price you guys are seeing? I only have a handful of shops that I would trust to do this around here. And I've narrowed it down to these guys. The first 2 said I don't need carriers or thicker gears for the Dana 44 coming from 3.73 to 4.56 so naturally they've been scratched off the list. And frankly, these guys didn't mention it either, but I've seen their work at all the jeep functions and its top notch as well as a couple of first hand accounts in dealing with them. This was talking to a salesman as well, so maybe his knowledge base doesn't cover Tj's.
